Ok, here you have it. Our attempt at getting Christmas pictures!
Well, wouldn't you know it, the photographers had a tree swing at the shoot. Only one of my kids' most favorite things EVER!
So, naturally, there was a lot of swinging and playing, and very little attention to the task at hand.
And if you havent' already picked up on this, Ellie is a little bit, shall we say, "busy"!?
Our photographers, Becky and Misti, had little stations set to and fro where they directed all of us or one of the girls at a time.
Todd was NOT thinking when he pulled out this harmonica and presented it to Gabs only a few minutes before we arrived. For one thing, she played it incessantly in the car.
and for another, she didn't want to put it down when it came time to take pictures. There were even some pics, where we just let her hold it, but asked her to put her hand behind her back.
as with all photo shoots, I am ok with however things turn out. After all, it is capturing the memory of this age. Like the beach pics this year, with Ellie' leg in the air, and Gabbi refusing to even glance at the camera. Do you remember? Now, it's one of my favorite bunch of photos.
This harmonica was given to Gabs earlier in the day by Kelsey's grandmother, MK. She gets my babies treats when she gets her own babies treats!

The girls are actually old pros at taking pictures. For four and five years old, I was pretty proud of them. These are our attempt to get our Christmas cards out and in the mail.
If you go to see them, help a sista out and tell me your favorite few.
I think I can use several on the card. Last year, our card was a tri-fold out thingy, so we could use several pics. I think I want a family pic, but then again, there are some really cute ones of the girls alone.
Let me know what you think. and the above... CLASSIC!
All for the sake of a good memory!

Love so many of them! Sorry I'm no help in choosing! You all look wonderful and it looks like you had some fun too! Such beautiful girls - growing so fast! :)
I say do one of the girls individually, one of them together and a family one. If I had to pick based on that scenario, I would pick 14, 19, 25, 30. They are all great!
Loved the pics...there are no bad ones. My favs - 2; 23; 32 and 36. I hope to mark something off of my bucket list soon..that is meeting you and your family. Husband transferred to corporate CenturyLink so moving to West Monroe. Sylvan Lakes will be our new home. Very excited to be coming home..close to our children and grandkids. God is Good!
Oh my, what a difficult decision. They're all wonderful. Ellie looks so angelic, and Gabbi's smile is always filled with such joy.
My favs are:
#2
#11 or 19
#17 or 18
#27
#32
Happy choosing!
Love the first pic and the other family one where y'all are on the grass.
When did Gabbi grow up!!? :/ she's absolutely beautiful and love that long hair. I really like pic of just Ellie with hand on her hip, so her!
Also love the pic of Gabbi looking/laughing at Ellie.
Oh man! How do you decide?? They are ALL so cute!!
Loved a whole bunch: 2,9,10,11,14,15,24,27,31,32,40
Hopefully when you do the layout it will be easy to see what fits together best -- and we all know you have a good (well, great)eye for creations of all types!
Great pictures! It is hard to narrow it down. These are my favorite favorites... 2, 5, 8, 24, 27, 30, 32, and 36. Good luck just picking a few. :o)
Wow...those are all great and show all of your personalities loud and clear!! If I had to pick favorites they would be as follows:
#36 or #2 as a family choice
#10 or #19 Ellie alone
#16 or #17 for Gabs alone
#5 or #25 for the girls together
But they are all pretty fantastic! I love the one with your feet and the Merry Christmas banner. CUTE!!
mo i love all of them so it is so hard on me to choose which ones but what ever you choose i know you will love and will you send me a card i love getting cards in the mail and oh did you read in my last blog about the beads and all i would love any that u might have just let me know. hugs and love you
CUTE!! I loved #2 with all of you together! I loved #19 of Ellie and of course loved #27 of your feet! The one of Gabs playing the harmonica on your back is also very cute!
I love the one on the blog with Ellie covering her head. I loved them all but I would go with G2, G11,G13,G31 & G36. As you can see, I loved them all. I wish they had done another with the JOY since that is one of your "words". Happy Day!
Becky, I have to assume they didn't turn out, because they snapped a lot with Joy. But I agree. I thought I would likely choose a joy one, but naaah!
18, 19, 25, 28, 32, 36! One of each girl by themselves, one of the two adults, one of the 2 girls together, one of the 4 of you and the Merry Christmas shot. I like Christmas cards that include several pictures. They are all GREAT!!!
